Rowland revealed in an interview last fall that she and Weatherspoon had been contemplating having another child for a while, but didn’t commit to family planning until quarantine began.
"We had been talking about it loosely, and then COVID happened, and we were just like, ‘Let’s see what happens,’" the Destiny’s Child star told Women’s Health magazine. She added that she got pregnant quickly after she started trying for a second child.
Despite her gratitude, the singer told the outlet that she was hesitant to disclose her pregnancy amid the pandemic, racial injustice, political unrest and a tumultuous year for many.

"But you still want to remind people that life is important," Rowland said of why she ultimately decided to make an announcement.
She added: "And being able to have a child … I’m knocking at 40’s door in February. Taking care of myself means a lot to me."

A virus horror and a last-day-on-Earth comedy -- both entirely devised, shot and edited during the pandemic -- brought an apocalyptic flavor Friday to the Sundance film festival, which has moved online due to Covid.
Speaking after "virtual" world premieres at the influential US indie event, the films' creators described how they funneled their boredom and anxiety into creativity by quickly finding ways to safely film during long lockdowns.
"I had a slightly hysterical episode about one week into the lockdown... I needed to calm down and part of the calming down was to try and write," recalled "In The Earth" director Ben Wheatley.
The first new production to film in the UK after its initial March lockdown, the horror is set in a remote English forest where scientists are conducting mysterious experiments while a virus sweeps through the cities.
"It was a weird amount of pressure on us... all the protocols were brand new at that point," said Wheatley.
While Covid-19 does not provide the main plot of the movie, it serves as an essential backdrop to the film's events.
Wheatley told an online Q&A that the introduction of social distancing and lockdown had made even newly finished films look like they were "from another age."
"You'd sit there and watch a movie and it has these massive crowd scenes in, or all their concerns were concerns of two years ago," he said.
"I think that horror films especially, but movies in general, should reflect the moment that you're in."
Meanwhile, comedy "How It Ends" imagines Los Angeles on the day an asteroid is due to wipe out the planet.
Liza (played by co-director Zoe Lister-Jones) sets out on foot to confront those who have wronged her -- and make a few last-minute apologies of her own -- all en route to a wild, end-of-days party.
Conceived in the early weeks of California's lockdown and shot in summer, the movie also takes place almost entirely outdoors -- on the city's permanently sunny streets, gardens and pool decks.
- 'Home movie' -
The filmmakers raced to finish and release the film "while we are all still struggling with some of this emotional minefield," said Lister-Jones, describing the process as therapeutic during "a very bleak time."
Helen Hunt, Bradley Whitford and Olivia Wilde are among the famous faces who pop up for socially-distanced conversations with Zoe during her "existential scavenger hunt" -- many shot outside the A-listers' real-life homes.
"Normally when someone comes over with two cameras and a sound guy and an actor, I'm like 'I'm excited to be in your home movie,'" joked Charlie Day, who appears with his wife Mary Elizabeth Ellis.
"It was super quick -- I got a call one day saying 'hey, we're going to show up at your house tomorrow'... I didn't really know what I was getting myself into," added Lamorne Morris.
Friday also saw the Sundance premiere of "The Pink Cloud," in which two strangers are forced to cohabit indefinitely when a toxic cloud spreads across the planet midway through their one-night-stand, making the outside air deadly.
However, the eerily prescient Brazilian sci-fi was written and shot a year before Covid-19.
Top US indie film festival Sundance, co-founded by Robert Redford, typically takes place each winter in the Utah mountains, where multi-million-dollar deals are struck for many of the year's most coveted arthouse hits.
Due to the pandemic, all of this year's 72 feature films are making their premieres via online streaming, with the shortened festival running through to February 3.

Exclusive Details"Sex and the City" star Jason Lewis got into a heated argument with his neighbor after the actor was caught firing a weapon to scare some feral cats away, but the gun wasn't loaded with bullets.
Jason was clearly upset over cats that were abandoned after one of his neighbors died this past September. Another neighbor has been feeding the felines every day, but according to the neighbor, Jason was pissed off because the cats were pooping in his yard.
The neighbor apparently caught Jason shooting in the vicinity of the strays, and that triggered a heated argument.
Jason explained he was shooting grains of rice in the direction of the cats, not to hurt them but rather to show them he means business. That did not sit well with the neighbor.
Jason, who also appeared in "90210" and "Charmed," told the neighbor he didn't aim for the cats but rather shot in their general direction to scare them. The neighbor says it's undermining her efforts to get the cats to trust her so she can find them new homes.
Jason tells TMZ, "Everyone who knows me knows my love of animals. I've tried for months to work with a person who is coming into the neighborhood and feeding a large group of feral cats in an effort to relocate them as they have been filling the yards with fleas and waste."
Jason goes on ... "I made the wrong choice in shooting rice into the dirt (not toward the cats) to spook with the noise and scare them away. To fellow animal lovers that I disappointed, I'm sorry."
Scottish DJ and producer SOPHIE has died following a sudden accident this morning (January 30).

In a separate statement, SOPHIE’s family revealed the cause of her death, writing: “Tragically our beautiful SOPHIE passed away this morning after a terrible accident.
